Owners Advisory Services for Project Management, Design Review, and Risk Oversight

The City of Santa Maria Public Works Department seeks an owner's advisor to provide independent project management and decision support for the Town Center East Parking Structure Rehabilitation Project. The advisor will support the city through planning, design, procurement, construction, and closeout by reviewing design-builder deliverables, auditing as-built records, and maintaining a project risk register. Only onshore organizations in the United States may bid, and work will be performed offsite. Proposers must submit questions in writing via PlanetBids or email by December 3, 2026, at 5:00 PM, and submit proposals—including a separate sealed fee schedule—by December 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The city will evaluate and rank proposals based on qualifications without opening the fee schedule, potentially shortlisting firms for one-hour interviews. Following rankings, the city will negotiate fees with the highest-ranked firm, with selection anticipated on December 23, 2026.
